New and Returning Entertainment

Several new attractions and returning favorites are scheduled for the 2026 season. Stitch will host an ever-changing dance party at the Rockettower Plaza Stage in Tomorrowland. He will be joined by friends Lilo and Angel. After obtaining Lilo’s Costume Trunk, Stitch will try on various accessories. Each accessory triggers a theme swap, keeping the performance unpredictable throughout the night. The Cadaver Dans will also return to sing in soulful harmony.

Ticket Information

Ticket prices vary by date and will be released in phases. Sales begin on May 5 for guests staying at select Walt Disney World Resort hotels, the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Hotels, and Shades of Green. General sales open to all other guests on May 12. Party dates often sell out quickly, so early planning is recommended. Annual Passholders and Disney Vacation Club Members receive discounts. Tickets can be purchased via the official website or by calling the Disney Reservation Center.

Guest Arrival and Activities

Disney says ticket holders may enter Magic Kingdom as early as 4:00 PM, with the party beginning at 7:00 PM. Over a dozen candy stations are available for trick-or-treating. Cast members distribute treats at marked locations throughout the property. Exclusive merchandise and photo opportunities are also available during the event.

Shark Take: The staggered release of tickets for different hotel categories ensures broad access, but the early entry window remains a significant advantage for maximizing ride availability.
